Mets Hold On, maintain ‍Wild Card Position Despite ⁣Recent Struggles

NEW YORK – The New York Mets narrowly avoided a catastrophic‌ collapse, clinging to a National League wild card spot despite a⁣ concerning losing streak that threatened to derail their postseason hopes. A series of late-game heroics and timely pitching performances allowed the team to weather the storm,‌ though their playoff berth remains far from secure with just weeks ‌remaining in the regular season.

The Mets’ recent⁣ skid raised serious questions about⁤ their ability to compete in October, prompting anxious reactions from fans and analysts alike. entering play on September 15th, the team’s playoff outlook was precarious, facing stiff competition from several ⁤teams vying for the limited wild card berths. The pressure is mounting as the ‍team navigates a challenging schedule,‍ with crucial matchups against division rivals looming.

Elsewhere in MLB power rankings,⁤ Junior Caminero of the Tampa ​Bay Rays has amassed 43 home ​runs. Ryan Weathers returned from the 60-day injured list for the miami Marlins, delivering five scoreless innings. The Athletics‘ ⁣bullpen has⁢ surprisingly emerged as one⁢ of the league’s best as trading Mason Miller, posting a 2.94 ERA. Christian⁢ Moore‌ is back with the Los⁤ Angeles Angels after a‌ minor league assignment.Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker reached 800 career wins‍ as speculation‍ about his potential retirement grows. Kody⁤ Clemens hit three home runs in a single game for​ the Minnesota Twins, bringing his season total to 19. Bubba Chandler of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitched into the sixth inning with a perfect game. A back injury has ended Cole Henry’s rookie season⁤ with the Washington Nationals. The Chicago White Sox are 25-28 as the All-Star break and are ⁤on pace to potentially⁢ match their franchise record of 121 losses.

written by Alex Carter - Sports Editor

White‌ Sox prospect ‍Caleb bonemer Named to MLB⁢ Pipeline‘s All-Breakout‌ Team

Winston-Salem,NC – September 3,2025 ⁢- Chicago White Sox shortstop prospect Caleb⁢ Bonemer has been named ‍to MLB Pipeline’s All-Breakout Team for 2025,recognizing⁤ his rapid ascent through the minor leagues this​ season. The recognition​ comes as Bonemer continues to climb prospect rankings, now appearing on top-100 ⁤lists from both MLB Pipeline ⁣and baseball America.

Bonemer, a 2024 second-round draft pick,⁣ has quickly established himself as ​one of the White Sox’s​ most promising young players. His performance this season has exceeded expectations,notably given⁢ his relatively recent entry into professional baseball. This breakout season significantly boosts ⁢the white Sox’s farm​ system⁤ outlook and provides a potential future cornerstone for‌ the institution.

MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis noted Bonemer’s surprising defensive ability at shortstop, adding that he “may be able to stay there,” alongside a .283/.403/.480⁤ slash line with 12⁣ home runs in 101 games across two Class A levels.Bonemer was recently promoted to high Single-A Winston-Salem​ after a dominant stint ⁢at low-A Kannapolis, where he hit.281 with ​10 home runs and 58 RBIs in 96 games, ⁤compiling an .858 OPS. He’s continued to impress with the ⁢Dash, hitting .286 with two ⁤home runs⁤ and a 1.162 OPS in 21 at-bats.Entering the season unranked among⁣ the White Sox’s top prospects, Bonemer was identified in June as​ one of Baseball ⁤America’s “biggest early risers” for the 2025 ‌season. The Okemos, ‌Michigan native was a two-time Michigan ‍Gatorade Player of the Year.

9 top questions for standings, MVP races

Baseball’s⁢ Tightest Races: nine Key Questions as September Dawns

NEW YORK – With Labor Day passing, baseball’s playoff picture is coming into sharper focus, but crucial ⁤questions remain unanswered as teams battle for division titles, Wild Card spots,‌ and individual accolades. here are nine storylines dominating the conversation as September begins:

  1. Dodgers⁢ Dominance: ‌Can the Los Angeles Dodgers maintain their notable ‍form? Pitcher Bobby Miller‘s August performance⁤ -‌ 5-0 with a 1.88 ERA – has been pivotal, contributing to his ⁣9-2 record ‍and 3.06 ERA ⁢overall. He’s become‍ invaluable to the team’s success.
  1. Mets’⁤ Helsley Headache: The New York Mets are ‌struggling to integrate reliever⁣ Ryan Helsley, acquired from the Cardinals at the trade deadline. Helsley has‍ blown four ‍saves and posted a 10.38 ERA‌ in his first 11 games with the ​team. ​Manager Carlos mendoza acknowledged the issue,stating,”We’ve got​ to look back‌ and see what we’re missing here,because for⁣ teams to ⁤have agreeable at-bats like that,something’s going ⁣on here.”
  1. Cardinals’ Attendance Dip: A paid crowd⁤ of just 17,675 attended a Cardinals game at Busch Stadium,marking the ‌first time the ‌team has drawn ⁣fewer than 20,000 fans as 1997.
  1. No-Hitter Drought: Major League Baseball remains without ⁤a no-hitter ⁤this ‍season. The last one occurred in 2005, leaving fans wondering if this will⁤ be the year the streak ends.
  1. Guardians’ Power ⁤void: The Cleveland Guardians continue to lack a power hitter, with no player projected to ‌reach 40 home runs this season. Travis Hafner was the last Guardian to⁤ achieve that feat,in 2006.
  1. Yankees-Red Sox⁤ Rivalry Reduced: The New⁣ York Yankees and Boston Red Sox​ will play only ⁢three games against each other after June next season, a schedule decision drawing criticism from fans.
  1. Cherington’s⁤ Return to Fenway: Pittsburgh Pirates GM Ben Cherington returned to Fenway Park for the first time⁤ as his 2015 firing by the red Sox.‌ He served as a Red Sox executive from 1999-2015, including his ‌final four years as GM.
  1. Padres’ Laureano‌ Boost: ‍ The San Diego Padres’ acquisition of outfielder Ramon Laureano has ​proven impactful. ⁢He’s ‌hitting .316 with six ‌home runs, 20​ RBI, and a .968 OPS since joining the team from Baltimore.
  1. Boyd’s Endurance⁤ Question: The Chicago Cubs are monitoring ‌starter Matthew Boyd, who has already thrown a team-leading 153 innings – the most by a Cub⁢ in ⁤a season since 2019. Boyd posted a 2.34 ERA in​ the first half, earning an All-Star ⁤berth, but⁢ his ERA ⁤has risen to 4.10 in the second half, raising concerns about fatigue after throwing just 51 innings last season and a combined 146 over the previous three years.
